I went to my regular vet and she takes routine care of reptiles but would refer me if it was a serious problem but the herp vet is quite a drive. Anyway, he was parasite free but she thought he is a bit underweight for length so I am trying to get him to eat every 5 days instead of 7-9 as Petco was doing.

As far as I can tell, it is probably CH, so I am thinking the breeders/wholesalers sex them and only sell males? I actually prefer a male since this is my first and have no plans to breed or that this be anything but a pet and only snake. I have wanted one for years and hubbie has a snake phobia. He has held George and then even tried feeding the other day. I am so proud of him!
I think he will and is warming up to George but another snake is out of the question especially one bigger than a Ball.

Thanks for the welcome! I have been reading on this board before George came home on Dec 19th. I did a lot of research and always came back to the BPs. He is such a joy.
